What is washi tape?
Washi tape originates from Japan, where it is made using traditional papermaking techniques. Washi tape is made fromJapanese rice paper, more precisely from Washi, which is traditionally made from plant fibres such as mulberry (Kōzo), mitsumata or gampi. This paper is particularly tear-resistant, flexible and slightly transparent.
Washi tape - Optimum adhesion and removability without residue
One of the most outstanding advantages of washi tape is the excellent adhesion it offers on smooth surfaces such as metal and glass. The tape adheres securely and reliably, stays in place for up to 100 days without any problems and can be removed without leaving any residue or adhesive residue. Ideal for masking knife blades for handle production.
Perfect for painting work - Sharp colour edges without bleeding
Washi tape has been specially developed for all types of work with colours and paints and is the ideal companion for professionals and hobbyists alike. It produces extremely flat, sharp paint edges and ensures that no Colour runs under the tape. This is particularly important for demanding painting or stencilling work where the contours need to be perfect and precise.
Masking is a method in which certain areas of a surface are covered with adhesive tape (such as washi tape) to protect them from Colour, paint or other coatings. This technique is often used in painting or varnishing furniture.
Whether painting windows, vehicles or furniture, washi tape ensures a professional and flawless finish.
Washi tape in stationery and for DIY projects

Thanks to its light transparency and often varied print designs, it is ideal for decorating notebooks, planners and cards. It can be used for marking (removable), framing or creative design and gives every project an individual, artistic touch, e.g. for a bullet journal or for scrapbooking. Washi tape can also be used to design creative poetry walls.
